@ArashMadani: Per #CFL sources: Don't expect Brandon Stewart, who was exposed badly in the Grey Cup, to be returning to the #Ticats in 2015.

Shocker. Oh wait.

I think you should just automatically lose your job when you get called out prior to a game and then still give up 3 touchdowns to the guy who called you out.

Bstew used to be a god on this forum...

When you're inflicted with gangreen, your usefulness decreases significantly.

He had a bad game. Too bad it happened on the CFL's biggest stage.

Two epically bad games back to back.

Never watched the Eastern Final... Not good.

Exceeded expectations the majority of the season - but import DBs are ten a penny.

Stewart is simply not a very good DB. hes serviceable at best and didnt excel while here. shitty how media found out before he did (apparently as per peoples comments on his facebook) but him getting released doesnt surprise me in the least..

I wonder if this will be the end of the line for Mr Stewart? He can come work for EJ Kuale's personal trainer business.

Always somebody better, faster & cheaper.

IMO dominant import DBs are not that easy to find. The CFL would be full of Chris Randalls if they were

He was strong *within his role* while he was here. 

He was a great corner while here - seemed to be injured last year, not the same guy...

He was the field corner, though. I don't think there was ever a time here where he wasn't the least of our starting import DBs.

When I heard he was playing HB in Hamilton, I was happy for him, I thought maybe he'd taken his game up a notch but yeah he got exposed when the chips were down.

Helluva athlete, though. He had fantastic wheels and I remember him making a lot of tackles from behind on special teams.

Hamilton in some cap trouble too i thought, getting rid of a veteran like stewart and replacing him with a rookie more than likely saves the cats some cash.

 

Best of luck to BStew tho, always thought he was a pretty good player when he was here.

Great is a pretty strong word. I'll give him a "pretty good" rating while he was here.

 

He was tried in a few spots here and was only able to maintain a starting role as the field corner. I'm not sure why Hamilton thought he'd be able to play a different role there. He's a freakishly good athlete, but for some reason he can't cover anybody who has a running start.

Sadly, his role was "play easiest position in secondary, dont screw up.." And yea he did that and special teams very well..

Stewart was really good here. Always liked him a lot.

So who really knows? He did suck in the Grey Cup, though. That's indisputable.

Stewart took forever by import standards to be good enough to start here in the easiest position in the secondary and then was carried by the strength of the rest of the group, then went to Hamilton and played a harder position and got exposed badly in the playoffs. He was never as good as some people thought he was here. 

Tiger-Cats beat reporter isnt as convinced Stewart is leaving as the human car alarm (Madani) is.

Brandon Stewart came out of a JC in the US to have an 8 year career in the CFL, far exceeding the average length of a CFL career so he must have been pretty bad. Give me a break? Why do people find it necessary to continually trash players?

Ask SJ Green.
